You mean dressing up someone as a political boogeyman and perpetuating a cult of personality for the sole reason of antagonizing another political party is NOT how you like to be seen through the lens of self reflection?

Crazy. But ultimately if someone decides "dark brandon" isn't an image they want to perpetuate, fine - but don't back off something because it "looks bad", back off because you learned something, or your perspective actually changed.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Not long after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers for this year’s Super Bowl title, President Biden sent out a bizarre post on his X account.

In this (let’s call it) “unique version of reality”, the Super Bowl was fixed and Kansas City destined to win.

And since the Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce is dating the zillionaire superstar Taylor Swift, according to the conspiracy theory, the predictable Super Bowl triumph would solidify Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Joe Biden for president, which will elevate his chances to the stratosphere, hence Biden’s joke: “Just like we drew it up.” By the way, this unique version of reality is believed by nearly one in five Americans.

According to the journalist Barak Ravid, the Israeli air force “conducted heavy airstrikes in Rafah as a diversion to allow the extraction of … two hostages”.

Without approval from the White House, Israel would not be able to carry out one of the deadliest, most destructive and plausibly genocidal military campaigns in recent history.

And until the president exhibits a resolve and acts to stop Israel’s extraordinary and unfathomable violence, an evil-looking Biden looks much less like a clever joke and much more like a statement of fact.
